  10. One beltpack must always use the “M” ID and serve as the master beltpack for proper system function. An “M” indicator designates the master beltpack on its OLED. (For Roam Mode, one beltpack must use the “SM” ID as well.)

  11. Listen-only belt packs must use the “L” ID. You may duplicate ID “L” on multiple belt packs.

  12. Shared belt packs must use the “S” ID. You may duplicate ID “S” on multiple belt packs, but only one shared beltpack may talk at a time.
    When using “S” IDs, the last full-duplex ID cannot be used (“08” in Repeater mode and “09” in the Standard or Roam).

  13. Confirm the belt pack’s Security Code. All belt packs must use the same security code to work together as a system.

Recommended Settings by Headset

Multiple DR10 Systems

Each separate DR10 system should use the same Group and Security Code for all belt packs in that system. CrewPlex recommends that systems operating in proximity to one another set their Groups to be at least ten (10) values apart. For example, if one system is using Group 03, another system nearby should use Group 13.

Two-Way Radio Integration

The DR10 system can be integrated with a two-way radio system via the CrewPlex Two-Way I/O Headset Adapter (CRC-2WAY-IO). The DR10 system offers two basic modes of operation when interfacing and connecting to two-way radio systems. The Local mode allows users to connect to a two-way radio and keep their conversations private from the other DR10 system users. Only the DR10 user in Local mode can hear and talk to the users on the two-way system. The System mode allows a two-way radio to be connected to a DR10 system and all users can hear and talk using the connected two-way radio.
See the DR10-900 Manual and the CRC-2WAY-IO Quick Start Guide for more information on the CrewPlex Two-Way I/O Headset Adapter.
